No capo
[Verse]
Amaj7
There's a boy who works at Starbucks
Bm
Who is very inspirational.
BmEAmaj7BmE
He is very inspirational because of many things.
Amaj7Bm
I come in at 8:11, and he smiles and says, "How are you?"
Bm
When he smiles and says, "How are you?"
BmE
I could swear my heart grows wings!
F#
So today at 8:11
A7
I decided I should meet him
D
I decided I should meet him
BmE
In a proper formal way.
F#A7
So today at 8:11 when he smiled and said "How are you?"
D
I said "Fine, and my name’s Kristin"
BmE
And he softly answered, "Hey."
F#A7DDm
And I said "My name is Kristen, and thank you for the extra foam…"
Amaj7
And he said his name was Taylor,
BmEAmaj7
Which provides the inspiration for this poem:
[Chorus]
AB7D
Taylor the latte boy,
DADB7
Bring me java, bring me joy!
F#D
Oh Taylor the latte boy,
Amaj7BmAmaj7
I love him, I love him, I love him…
[Verse]
So I’d like to get my nerve up
To recite my poem musical.
He would like the fact it’s musical
Because he plays guitar.
So today at 8:11, Taylor told me he was playing
In a band down in the village in the basement of a bar.
And he smoothly flipped the lever to prepare my double latte,
But for me he made it triple! And he didn’t think I knew
But I saw him flip the lever, and for me he made it triple,
And I knew that triple latte meant that Taylor loved me too!
I said, "What time are you playing? And thank you for the extra skim…"
He said, "Keep the $3.55," because this triple latte was on him.
[Chorus]
AB7D
Taylor the latte boy,
DADB7
Bring me java, bring me joy!
F#D
Oh Taylor the latte boy,
Amaj7BmAmaj7
I love him, I love him, I love him…
[Bridge]
I used to be the kind of girl who'd run when love rushed toward her.
But finally a voice whispered "Love can be yours, if you step up to the counter, and order."
[Chorus]
AB7D
Taylor the latte boy,
DADB7
Bring me java, bring me joy!
F#D
Oh Taylor the latte boy,
Amaj7BmAmaj7
I love him, I love him, I love him…
[Outro]
So many years my heart has waited,
Who’d have thought that love could be so caffeinated?
Taylor, the latte boy,
I love him, I love him, I love him.
I love him, I love him, I love him.
